Whether it is the Indian or the Arrow here are the last couple groups I got with each gun at 100 yards sighting in about 2" high at that range.
The 30/30 is a 3-9x scoped Marlin 336 shooting 170 grain Federal "power shok Deer Thugs" ammo, the only ammo that grouped under 3" in this borrowed rifle of the 6 I tried including 150 and 170 Core Lokts and other major brands. I cannot find reviews of terminal performance on deer of this round.
The 20 ga is shooting a Remington Accutip slug. I was very impressed with the accuracy of this sabot round.
A coworker is taking me on my first deer hunt. It will be on club property in a stand bordering a swampy area in Eastern VA. Longest shot possible will be under 100 yards. He will also be giving me a 12ga with buckshot rounds loaded in it in case dogs are running deer and I hear some coming.
Which do you think I should take?
